I was skeptical about getting this TV after reading some of the negative reviews, but I finally bought it and I'm glad I did. Shipping was free quick and easy, was delivered right into my apartment with no problems. Waited 4 hours before turning it on due to the temperature adjustment then began setting it up. Before this I had a 42 inch Dynex and when I set up this new TV I was blown away at how much bigger it is, the difference between 42" and 60" really is bigger then you'd think. Make sure you can be at least 6 feet away from the TV when watching, or else you'll feel like you're in the first row at the movie theater. The picture is great, incredibly clear and sharp when watching blu rays or even playing 720p games. Sadly when watching HD cable it doesn't look as good (though not bad) but that is because HD tv is in 1080i and not 1080p like a blu ray is. A number of people have complained that the speakers in the TV suck or are no good, but I actually find them to be just fine, and since the TV is so big, the two built in speakers are pretty spread out so you get a full sound (though I do recommend buying or using additional surround sound speakers for the added benefit of a sub and more power).
I didn't set up or use any of the internet apps because come on, that's not why I bought the TV and I have a laptop, phone and PS3 to do all that on. The remote is good enough, and the interface to use while messing with all the settings on the TV is real easy. The only complaint I can think of about the TV is when you have the backlighting on (which you don't need on if you turn off the ambient light sensor) and the screen is totally black, you can see some kind of uneven lighting at the edges of the screen. This bothered/freaked me out at first because I saw other people complaining about this issue, but as I said before, just turn off the backlighting and it goes away, and even if you don't turn off the backlighting, as soon as something comes on the screen that isn't completely all black, it's gone.
The smooth motion (120hz) looks awesome once you get used to it, but some people just don't like it so luckily you can turn it off easily in the picture menu. I've had this TV for a week and I'm still excited to sit down and watch a movie or play PS3 on it because its just so clear, big and makes everything into an immersive experience, and if that's not money well spent, then I don't know what is.
